After bathing, you can move to Vinpearl Land on Hon Tre. You can use a canoe or buy a cable car ticket to travel across the sea. The area is relatively large and full of activities so you can stay here until evening, then return to the city center to rest.

Day 3: Nha Trang – Da Lat

Depending on the number of people in the group, you choose the travel plan, if you go few people you can use public transport (Nha Trang – Da Lat bus routes run continuously every day). If the group is crowded, you can actively rent a car for convenient travel. Travel time Nha Trang Dalat is about 4-5 hours. Arrive Da Lat, check-in hotel, store food to rest for lunch

In the afternoon, please take a leisurely ride around the motorbike around Dalat, the city does not have any traffic lights. You can visit Xuan Huong Lake to enjoy a cup of coffee by the lake, hang around Lam Vien Square, or take a train from Dalat Railway Station to Trai Mat. Do not forget to visit Dalat Teachers College to take pictures and run around to enjoy delicious food in Dalat.

Evening to sleep in Dalat

Day 4: Golden Valley – Cu Lan Village – Ma Rung Lu Quan

Get up for breakfast, make a glass of Dalat coffee to wake up, and start the journey.

From the center of Dalat city to the Golden Valley tourist area, about 20km. You can rest for lunch here and then continue to Ma Rung Lu Quan. This place is more than ten kilometers from the Golden Valley, the access road is quite bad. At this point, I just sat in a cafe and took pictures for a while and then continued to go to Cu Lan Village.

The area of ​​Cu village is also quite a lot, if you do not like it, you can rent a jeep to experience the feeling of peace around the village.

Evening back to Dalat city to eat and rest

From above, there is a system of the adventurous sled to take guests down the foot of the waterfall, young people traveling should play this game, the length of the slide is nearly 1000m and many bends and curves will give you the feeling very excited.

Leaving Datanla waterfall, you will go one more distance to come to Tuyen Lam Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Dalat. This is considered an area with many beautiful landscapes and rich tourist services. You can walk around the lake, rent a hammock to rest, or rent a boat to walk on the lake.

    Lovely article; thanks for sharing! Nha Trang seems to be well suited for me as a retirement location, except I don’t want to be in a big city or a crowded, touristy area. Where would you recommend looking nearby that is also inexpensive, hot and humid, with nice snorkeling/scuba diving beaches?
